very autistic niggle but these are very modern designs/components and dont fit in with the theme/time period at all. silvers would look absolutley fine without the attachment rail, but venators is straight up an MP5 with a giant drum mag and dildo strapped to it. no other character has a weapon that stands out like this so im wondering if its a result of the ROR devs being contracted to design the last batch of heroes

I think Silvers shotgun is probably just a case of asset reuse, since she still has a lot of unfinished stuff like the rigging being the same as seven, but venator might be like billy where they just have newer stuff for some reason. I am not a gun nerd but billy (Apart from being punk) has a uzi? or something, but that might be because Billy is supposed to be anachronistic.
Haven't played in quite a while, last time was the super early playtests or something (I think when the game had 4 lanes). How's the game for you guys?

It's magnitudes better than it was in the 4-lane era but is going through the standard Icefrog/moba cycle of having one particular archetype being insanely overpowered compared to the rest; leading to matches feeling bad or a little samey because you either play a meta hero that fits it or slog uphill the whole match. Check out street brawl though. It has its own balance issues but they're much more forgivable because a game that goes lopsided is like 15m tops.
I meant general tips. Not sure of it’s like my first Victor game where I went at it ass backwards and built into aura first. The flight seems to just make you a sitting duck if you’ve got shooty people in lane and I wasn’t great with the snare or ult.

I'm only a vindicta tourist so take what I say with a grain of salt. She's very "click on their head lmao" so landing your ult is kind of important.
They changed her passive so now her bullet damage scales with spirit instead of fire rate. Eases up slot pressure a bit when paired with sniper kills since those scale damage too.
If you get mid lane pay attention to health bars at the top. You can get a decent view of both lanes for cheeky snipes from the buff bridges to punish overextends.
you can parry in the air so Counter Spell is a must to dodge anvil and cc

I don't think bell was a straight buff. It split the damage between the impact and the explosion so now you won't take (and I can't test this now obviously) 300+ in lane by getting hit by the radial explosion by itself. Right now it's about 220 at level 5 and 3.2k spirit invest. If you get hit by both the impact and explosion with the same stats it's 350 per bell. Which still sounds awful and is probably 1/3rd of most heros' hp but at least he has to hit you with the bell for each one he throws. The slowing speed buff is a welcome change too. I like giving the bells more utility over just increasing the damage.

Yippie! Impact dmg is back! and also looks like T1 has been reverted back to pre patch which was incredibly over-tuned and if this is all that changed then he may still be incredibly over powered. Not upset I've been a doorman main, I'll glady assume my role as hitler

It was kind of weird how they removed the impact damage from the bell while adding the piercing to his gun at the same time, but i am happy they added it back, it made investing in other skills like cart useless since bell would always outdamage it. I'd rather have doorman be more utility focused character instead of a straight nuker like the bell being strong makes him.
holy shit they gave kelvin a death beam. Had a lobby where a Kelvin was not only fed (up like 17k souls relatively to everyone else) and who just seemingly rushed beam + escalating exposure. Even WITH spirit resistance bought post haste my drifter was taking insane damage. I gotta try that shit out man.

Yeah the change didn't really make sense, I'm happy where doorman is now and he can still nuke people off the map with the bells if people allow you to get strong.
The piercing on Doorman's gun is probably just there for hitting bells. As a shitty Doorman player, minions bodyblocking a bell in lane happens to me a ton, and sometimes they land right in midboss/patron and it's weird to shoot, or you have to melee them.
I am going to be a grammar Nazi about this but it isn't 'rising' TTK. The TTK in Deadlock is going lower, ie the Time To Kill is now LOWER (shorter time) and not HIGHER (more time). You said the opposite.
If people are going to use 'TTK' as a phrase, just use the words FASTER and SLOWER, it is much easier and certainly more correct to understand.
I hate the fact, that they are still not able to display all those smaller balance patches in-game ,they release without any announcements.
How hard can it be?
The fail-to-check-out stun on doorman ult is fucking ridiculous and makes him so much more of a menace than he was beforehand. Perfect setup for cart-into-door as well, especially now the cart's the width of a bus.
